Three questions about the EEA route after Brexit
Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2019 10:34 am
Since Brexit means Brexit (?) it is my understanding that:
1. After March 29th, the EEA immigration route will cease to operate. This includes Family Permits, Residence Cards for Family Members and Extended Family Members, Permanent Residence, and Registration Certificates as Qualified Persons. EU citizens and their Family members will need to apply for the Settlement Scheme, for Settled or Pre-Settled status..
2. After March 29th, the Surinder Singh route will cease to operate. Family members of British citizens having exercised treaty rights in another EU country will need to use the route for Family members of a British citizen.
3. As a result of the above, after March 29th, Family members of British citizens will not be able to apply for Pre-settled status (as no Surinder Singh available through this route).
Are my understandings above correct?
Or are they correct, but the date of March 29th is not the cut-off date (e.g. will there be a grace period)?
Any insights will be very appreciated.
